Billed as the "world's largest missions bookstore and a bookstore of apostolic proportions," a temporary store will be an integral part of Urbana 12—the tri-annual gathering of students sponsored by InterVarsity Press (IVP) that is expected to draw 18,000 registered participants and 262 missions agencies.

The 23rd Urbana Student Missions Conference, to be held Dec. 27-31 at the America's Center Convention Complex in St. Louis, is designed to equip and send out the next generation of missionaries and church leaders.
